Here
are a few basic facts on our typical Garden Green Frog as seen taking
shelter by an old cracked clay pot here in our art oval sample. I wanted
to include him in contrast to his colorful family friends. He is a
familiar find in many gardens and children just love capturing them for
pets.

The garden green frog is 5.7 to 9 cm (2.25 -3.5")

Found in every eastern province (introduced to Newfoundland)

Call is a twang like a loose banjo string.

Calling begins in late spring or early summer.

Green with dorsolateral lines the full length down the back

Dark cross-bands on legs

.Male has a yellow throat and the eardrum is twice the size of theeye.

It
has been fun painting in the cross-bands on his legs while at the same
time keeping the sunny highlights in tact. In our next post we will
focus on the star of the show, the adult Red-eyed Tree Frog before we
complete the series with the final installments. We are nearing the end of this series but we have a few posts yet to go. So please stay tuned.
